Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically smart
